They are from Texas.
Air New Zealand now have a direct flight from Houston to Auckland.
About 12 hours in a Boeing 777.
Texas is a pretty flat State over most of it.
The mountainous terrain of the South Island and Milford Sound will impress them.
Along with the flights into Wellington and out of Queenstown.
They will not have time to visit many places - hence my idea of an itinerary.
Driving themselves will eat up too much time - let the Bus Driver do it.
I visited the Jerry J Moore car museum in Houston ( long gone now )
Made Southwards look like Horopito.
